Relaxation and Rejuvenation Uncovered


During these cold winter months, it is easy to fall into a rut and get caught up in the rush of a new year and new commitments. So often, we forget to take time for ourselves to relax from our daily stresses. Here at Biolife, we want to help you relax and rejuvenate with these simple relaxation methods:

  1. Mediate. It doesn’t mean you suddenly need to learn downward facing dog, but it does mean take a second to sit down and clear your mind. 
  2. Breathe Deeply. If you don’t have more time but need to relax immediately don’t forget to breath deep. Exhaling, dropping your chest and sighing can provide an instant relief when a million things are coming at you. 
  3. Drink Hot Tea. Instead of coffee consider green tea, the levels of stress hormone, cortisol, are heightened from the black drink. Chamomile tea can be a positive substitute as it is notorious for calming the mind and blocking stress. 
  4. Take a Time Out. When you find your temper building pull yourself back from the situation, not only does this prevent confrontation but it provides you the space to cool off and relax. 
  5. Visualization. As silly as it sounds, often taking a moment to visualize and ideal time and setting can take you away from the stresses you are caught up in and pulls you into a daydream like sequence giving you a break from the anxiety. 

So next time you find yourself caught up use one of our tips! Give yourself some time to relax and unwind and why not get a little help from one of our all natural relaxation formulas: Rest Easy, Stress Relief or Lady Slipper.
